Overview

Step aboard the fabulous m.v. Pont Aven of Brittany Ferries - the flagship of their impressive fleet - for some real Continental style luxury. This 40,000 tonne state- of-the-art ship has some stunning features including a superb pool and leisure area, a wrap around promenade for pleasant deck strolls, a dramatic five deck high atrium with panoramic views from the lifts and outstanding accommodations and facilities. The Pont Aven’s many restaurants and lounge bars for instance, simply exude elegance, while at the same time retain an intimate and friendly atmosphere. This fantastic festive Christmas mini-cruise offers both style and comfort of a high standard - with some really great on-board entertainment - and also lets you discover some of Europe's most fascinating cities.

On our Christmas departure you enjoy a leisurely cruise through the English Channel and the Straights of Dover to Antwerp in Belgium. Sailing into Antwerp is a pleasure; we cruise along the River Scheldt, with first of all Holland on either shore, before sailing into Belgium. Then it’s onwards, continuing upstream until we reach our berth in the centre of Antwerp and just a few minutes stroll to the delightful old town. It’s easy to explore this beautiful quarter of Antwerp, with its amazing buildings and impressive squares and cobble stoned streets where you will find lots of bars, cafes and restaurants.

You'll never be short of entertainment either. The Christmas Party Cruise will have big parties on board to help you celebrate the festive season in style. By day relax and enjoy your free time whilst at sea or ashore in the beautiful city of Antwerp; by evening enjoy the Piano Music in the Le Fastnet Piano Bar or dance the night away in the fabulous ‘Le Grand Pavois’ Main Lounge Bar while onboard the luxurious Pont Aven. The ship’s Entertainment Manager and his staff will ensure a fabulous programme of party fun. On every evening there is top class live entertainment and after the show, our late night DJ keeps the dance floor packed until the early hours. Fancy a film? Then head to the on-board cinema showing recent box office hits (small charge applies). Whatever you choose to do there is something for all ages.

Two cinemas, live music and dancing are only the start. Other attractions you’ll be able to enjoy include an ultra-stylish shopping centre where you will find high street perfumes and cosmetics amongst many other items that Brittany Ferries offers for sale.
